The Guardians of Destiny Books in Order

The Guardians of Destiny is Kathia's more openly paranormal side, a romance series built around ancient scrolls, inherited powers, and people who would honestly prefer not to be chosen for any of it. The books mix magic, danger, and attraction in a way that feels fast and a little snarky, with heroines who keep getting dragged into destiny while trying to hold onto ordinary life.

At the center of the series are Guardians, each tied to an ancient scroll with enormous power. Protecting a scroll is not just a symbolic family duty. It is the kind of job that can get people hunted, haunted, or killed. That basic setup gives the series its engine. Every book has a romance, but every romance is tangled up with questions of trust, loyalty, and who is after the scroll this time.

Nobody in this world asked for an easy life.

Marked by Passion introduces a heroine who wants nothing to do with her Guardian duties after loss has taught her the cost of obedience. Chosen by Desire follows Carrie, whose theft of a lost scroll sets off a chain of strange events and near disaster. Tempted by Fate pushes the action harder, with Willow hunting her mother's killer and ending up cornered from every side, including by the police. The romances work because each couple is pulled together by the same danger that ought to keep them apart.

The setting feels contemporary, but the mythology gives everything a larger frame. There are ghosts, prophecies, ancient rules, monasteries, murders, and secrets that stretch back further than the characters first realize. At the same time, the books keep a lively, accessible tone. The magic matters, but so do personality clashes, wounded hearts, and the question of whether the hot stranger is here to save you or steal from you.

Readers who like paranormal romance with an urban edge will feel at home here. This is not cozy magic. It is protective magic, dangerous magic, responsibility-heavy magic. The ongoing pull of the series is watching reluctant Guardians decide whether they can trust their powers, their partners, and themselves. If you want ancient artifacts, high emotional stakes, and romance threaded through action, The Guardians of Destiny delivers exactly that.
